What is wrong with my syntax iterating through an array of strings?

Question

array_of_strings = ["this", "is", "my", "array", "of", "strings"]

array_of_strings.each(function(val, i) {  console.log(i)  })

Which returns :

TypeError: Object has no method 'each'

I thought I could iterate through an array this way..

the .each is for a jQuery objects.. you need to use $.each for objects and arrays — wirey00

Arrays don't have an each method, you're mixing jQuery objects and arrays. — user400654

What you have is for iterating jQuery objects. You should use $.each like below,

//                       index----v   v-----value
$.each(array_of_strings, function(i, val) {  console.log(val)  });

Also the params inside $.each function is (index,value)
